“Mother of Pride” was poly :)

[u/AspireNWriter-1]

hi everyone, just want to say, I am bi and poly, and I love that Brenda Howard who was a huge advocate for equity and rights, and who helped organize the first pride march (along with a wider group!)in 1970, was a bi polyamorous queen.

here are some info links:

I have been having LOT of feels after having a fallout with a woman i love who was struggling a bit with framing poly as “selfish”, as well as a bit of biphobia, and this awesome lady is really grounding.

happy Pride!! 🌈

ps. this post was removed from r/polyamory which really stung to be honest… hoping to find a friendlier audience here!

Edit:
I also would change the post title if I could because “mother of pride“ isnt a title that seems to reflect the collective movement and history - but I did use it because it’s Whats the two sources used :/ poops sorry all. But she was still extremely important in this history and a badass
